I'm glad that I'm not the only one who enjoyed the Riders vs Soldiers

This movie was badly paced, aiya. It just doesn't feel like it's a well-written movie. I mean the trailers for this movie made this movie look like it was going to be amazing, but the execution failed miserably. More so than Wizard's movie and despite the bigger budget, I'd say movies like OOO Wonderful was a better movie and experience.


I liked the design of the Apple Riders, but we never really got to see Kamuro vs Mars ever and I don't think they were even in the same shot (except CGI Kamuro and CGI Ball + Kiwami Arms Gaim).
(Also: Can someone update the tvnihonwiki for Kougane's Rider Name being Mars instead of Malus?)

Really don't think they meant it to be Mars, Malus makes way more sense

But on like every promotional image they have says it's Mars, I don't think they'd screw up that badly. Plus, that photoshoot of Mars looks really impressive, I doubt it's a mistake. Possible the name Mars is a reference to being a God (of Battle?) since that's all the wooden character was talking about the entire movie anyhow.

I'm... not sure how that would prove anything.
I mean, Tajador for example could have a nice photoshoot too but, that wouldn't mean its name becomes "Tajyadol" because of it.

Well, I can see the writer's idea of tying it to the show without upsetting Urobuchi by giving the movie some sort of backstory to the Overlord, but the writer clearly can't pull it in the same style that Urobuchi did.

Oh Toei........as if the Rider didn't use their bike much in the show, and now Baron didn't even consider to use the Rose Attacker for his bike action? And Kouta still wastes all those minutes running....But hey, at least Gaim is finally riding a horse. The explanation is kinda cheap, but at least Gaim finally rides a horse. FINALLY.

Wait, do I know that guy? He must be from older Kamen Rider series. Oh he's gone? Never mind.....Cheap shot Toei. Asking BeetBuster and Kaidou just for a few dialogue.

Okay so maybe the movie wasn't as great as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it. Aside from the soccer fans and soccer world, the the Lock seed usage by Kouta (Durion and Gridon) made me happy. I was wondering when they were going to use those Lock Seeds. The horseback riding ( FINALLY! I'VE BEEN WAITING!) was great even though there were only a few scenes with Gaim and Mars. Also, I don't understand why Mitsuzane retain his memories?

The ending scene with Kouta and the other Riders made me extremely happy. I was expecting a fight from ALL riders and not kicking a soccer ball, but I take what I get. And I almost had a tear in my eye. Lapis was cool even if he was an Overlord who said he was worthless (not exactly worthless, but you get the idea)
Currently Watching: Ex-Aid, Kyuranger.

Plus when you put "Mars" into Japanese it's マーズ whereas this is マルス. This is one of those instances where the official Toei staff told everyone in Japanese "Oh, his name is マルス" and then the guys in charge of the magazines are like "well how do we romanize this so it looks cool?" Since マ= ma ル=ru/lu ス=su, you could technically get "Mars" from it but the pronunciation is different.

Plus "Malus" means "apple" in Latin, so it only makes sense. "Mars" has absolutely nothing to do with the theme at all and it's not really a good romanization either.

That's bugging me too. If Kougane was impersonating Yuuya, where's the real Yuuya? If there's no Helheim invasion then he never got killed, so the story of him gifting Kouta the Sengoku Driver is likely true (would make sense, if that's why he wanted to show him it in episode 1 - unlucky Sid thought Yuuya was going to use it himself, but he never intended to).

I think it was an okay movie. It was like they made a way of retelling the whole series but failed horribly. I was also anticipating the Jinba Melon and Horseback riding. :lol: I guess we shouldn't expect a lot from a summer movie? xD

I liked the film but, wow, what a waste of that Rider line-up at the end. Though it was cool to see them all standing side by side, they didn't really get to do a whole lot. Kiwami Gaim pretty much kicked all the ass that needed to be kicked beforehand singlehandedly - I was waiting for the awesome-looking Kamuro to lay some smackdown also and he just... didn't. :(

Because it's a dream world. Lapis or Shimibishi or whatever his name was created the world so they could live in harmony, but they still fought because of Kougane. I'm guessing Yuuya was just created as a remnant of the memory, and it allowed Kougane to infiltrate.

Silver Arms was such a waste. "Here, I'll transform! AND TURN INTO A SOCCER BALL"

I'm never gonna get to see Jimber Melon :(

Jimber Melon... Ha Haa... Nahh. I was expecting Kuroi Jimber Gaim will be more powerful than Kiwami but it turned out to be puke. And still never get to see Jimber Melon? What are the speciality for Jimber Melon still doesn't know, I guess it just for Toys promotional purposes, same goes to Kamen Rider Cyclone.

I like the transition for Overlords reference to other Riders, Kaito as Demushu, Micchi as Redyue and Takatora as Roshuo.

Kamen Rider Cyclone was in the W light novel so Jimber Melon might get that treatment as well.
